So there I was, walking down the street minding my own business. I was sporting both my Obama '08 baseball cap, and my "McCain + Palin = LIES" button. Suddenly, this short, angry old white guy runs up and punches me in the eye. I was so surprised I fell to the ground. Standing over me, he screamed, "I'm gonna teach you a lesson! When I'm president, I'm gonna cut taxes for my rich friends and corporations, and take more money out of the pockets of middle-class punks like you!"
Then he reached down, and using a sharp, yellowed fingernail he carved the letter "M" in my cheek. He whipped out a silver pen (the color of money?) and defaced my button. As he turned and ran away, and I heard him cry, "Teach them to mess with an old navy man, henh? Henh! Henh!"
...or maybe this was just my excuse for not having more time to come up with a Halloween costume last night. I was happy that everyone at the party we attended immediately got it.
